Relations between current settings and custom settings

Re: Relations between current settings and custom settings

I think that the thing to remember is that mechanical switches override anything in the custom settings. It’s a little frustrating but it makes sense. If the custom setting overrode the mechanical switches you would not know by looking at the dials/switches what mode you are in.

I find the custom modes on the X-S10 more useful as the camera has fewer dials and switches and some of the dials are unmarked therefore the custom modes can be used to set the camera up for different tasks (I guess like most other PASM based cameras).

On the other X series cameras that are not PASM based, I get the impression that the custom modes are really just for tweaking JPEG preferences like film sims, sharpening etc.
